How to Change Environment

The environment in Monster Hunter Wilds changes when passing time, resting at Pop-Up Camps, doing Optional Quests, or with Environmental Links.

Combination of Environments After Resting

For example, when the Windward Plains is in Plenty, Scarlet Forest is in Fallow. The combination of environments after resting is fixed. If there are two specific locations you want to aim for, refer to the table below. If you rest at the Ruins of Wyveria, the environments of the other maps will be random.

Starting an Optional Quest

Starting an Optional Quest will automatically change the environment assigned to that quest. If you need a specific environment right away, check if there's an Optional Quest that matches what you're looking for!

Changes Over Time or After a Quest

Note that after starting an Optional Quest, the environment may change as time passes. Additionally, when you return from a quest, the environment will return to what it was before you started.

Share Environment Links Online

If you are playing online, you can have your members to invite everyone to the Environment Link to switch to their current environment. If you're mainly playing with friends, use this feature to change your environment to theirs.

Returning to Title Screen

The environment doesn't change even if you return to the title screen, restart the game, or change the time on the game console.
